The fossil record shows about 145 million years separating the first fish from the first amphibians plus another 35 million years to the first reptiles.
That's a lot of repetitions of an iterative process, no single repetition of which has to be more than a small baby-step.
“no single repetition of which has to be more than a small baby-step”
Certainly a great many of them have to me more than a “small baby-step”. Every step where the altered child can no longer breed with the parent species is an insurmountable hurdle, since it’s an evolutionary dead-end, yet those dead-ends have to happen millions of times and some how miraculously succeed.

The fossil record doesn’t really show anything except there are billions of dead things buried in as much as a mile or more of flat, uneroded, unbioturbated sedimentary rock layers.
